Projects
Journey to the interior of the lived cities, is the second part of a project related to the book by Italo Calvino, " The Invisible cities". This is an ongoing project that to date has resulted in 3 periods of residence in different cities and a set of pieces about each one of them. In this second phase of the project, I place myself in the position of the character Marco Polo, the one who creates from his travels and everything he records from them. This project has a first part, called Journey to the interior of the imagined cities.
Istanbul - Turkey
In the context of this project, in 2010 I did an artist residency in Istanbul. I focused my research on the experience of the city, on its energy with echoes from East and West and on discovering its history through the stories of the people I met.
